Simmer

if i could pretend
you're delicious,
Sundays at request
what would it take for you to open
flower
Orchid, Oolong?
not sure of myself from most others
you don't know what you have done,
what you can do.
from one of these moments
we can draw it all out
color it just as we'd hoped
it wasn't too far from here was it?
surreptitious is the way it spells and
folds out
your cookbook is full up with
old things
Thyme, Rosemary, Ginger,
devilish Saffron.
don't take it away.
the vine,
la mer,
and me.
